Shoulda Been A Warning Label

Meowllo everypawdy. Me told you da udder day we wuld share a story ‘bout mommy and da leaf blower, and so we ‘cided mommy’s first ever leaf blowin’ episode wuz purrawlly da bestest one to share wiff yous today. Now me will warn you tho’ Don’t take too big a sip of dat coffee or tea or coke, cuz yous just might end up blowin’ it all out yous nose on da puter scween. Yep, it’ dat funny. Me showed you all those leaves da udder day but not where they came fwum. See Weez hav these big ole oak twees out in fwunt of ow pawtment. There be 3 of ’em, and they stawt losin’ their leaves weally bad wight after halloween. And then they stawt pilin’ up on ow fwunt porch and walkway. Da wind can’t get under them and move them along cuz of da way owr house sits wiff it’s store room. And mommy can’t get out and sweep them all off anymore. So she got this idea to buy a leaf blower.

Everywhere she looked they cost a lot of munny. She finaly found one dat she kuld afford, and so she orderd it. Well it finally arrived and mommy wuz so excited. Now just so you know, da leaf blower is one of da fings dat me just hates bout da lawn crew. But they be gone fur da year, so me has all calmed down now. Anyway, mommy opened da box and took out hers new leaf blower, and stawted laffin. It wusn’t much bigger than a hair dwyer. But mommy wuz still excited and wanted tu know how well it wuld weally work. So she went outside tu giv it a twy. Let me tell you, It wuz a site.

Mommy had to get a heavy duty extenshun cord cuz da plug on it isn’t very long. She finaly got it plugged in, and she’s standin out on da porch lookin’ at it. She turned it over and wound and back upwight again cuz she kuldn’t figger out how to turn it on. Sis Lexi and me wuz in our window perch and we wuz boff watchin’ her wiff anticipation. MOL Mommy turned and looked in da window at us and sed, “I got it girls, get ready for the noise…..hopefully.” Now let me splain, me hates da lawn crew visits and all their noise. Mommy can make all da noise on da fwunt porch her wants to and me dusn’t care. Me can even sleep fwu it. Oh yeah, me almost furgot to tell you. Mommy has never dun any kind of actual lawn work. She just stawted learnin’ to garden a foo years ago, and da only lawn mowers mommy has ever seen is da tractor kind. (anudder story altho’ it’s bout mommy growin up and not us). So to say mommy dusn’t know how to use da leaf blower her just bought is puttin it mildly.

Mommy finally got da ‘on’ button turned off, and now she be laffin uncontwolably. Me be standin’ at da fwunt door wiff me paws on it lookin’ out at mommy, and Lexi be standin’ behind me lookin’ up fwu da door at mommy. And what we saw wuz a site to behold. There wuz mommy laffin’ loud and hawd. We fawt she might hav been cwyin’ too, but ifin so they wuz brown tears runnin down hers face. Hers hair wuz all over da place. Weez never seen it look dat way, not even in da meownins. Mommy had leaves and dirt all over her. She didn’t even look like ow mommy. She looked at us standin at da door and sed, “Oh my catness girls, this is much more powerful then I thought it would be especially since it’s so small. Sorry I scared you girls, I will get better. I promise.” Mommy turned wound and turned da blower back on and well….needless to say she made a bigger mess than we had to begin wiff.

She finally had to come back in da house cuz it got dawk. But da purrsun dat came in wusn’t da same one dat went out dat’s fur sure. She smelled funny and looked funny. Specially wiff all those leaves in her hair. Leaves and dirt wuz stuck to mommys legs and awms and face. She sed, “I know it’s dinnertime girls but I’ve got to take a shower first. And I guess I’m gunna have to work on the leaves tomorrow.” Again, we fawt. Mommy’s gunna du this all over again tomowwo? Well she did, and didn’t do much better then eever. But after a foo more times, she did get a little better. Mommy’s just learned dat she needs to stawt early nuff to do ow porch and walk and da neighbors. Cuz dat’s where she ends up blowin’ most of ow leaves. MOL

Oh and sumpawdy sed sumfin’ ‘bout livin’ in pawtments and maint. men duin’ da leaves and such. And yous so wight. Least dat’s what mommy fawt too. And it’s always been dat way everywhere els she lived. But not here. Da idiots they hire here don’t do nuffin’, specially ifin they don’t hav too. Fur years da lawn crew didn’t do anyfin’ wiff da leaves. They sed it wusn’t in their contwact. Once da contwact wuz up, management put leaf cleanin’ in da new one. But they be gone fur da year, and so now it’s up to each wesident to take care of their own porch and walkway or get written up. Anyways, hope you enjoyed mommys adventure wiff da leaf blower. Me told you it wuz funny. We still fink dat little blower shulda came wiff a warnin’ label. MOL

MOL!!! I think I would have gotten a good belly laugh to have seen that! I’m chuckling just from reading it. Lawn equipment will get you every time. I hope that your Mommy can figure out her new toy soon 🙂

Oh Oh Oh!!!!!! I’m laughing my little white socks off here and I think mummy’s lost her wits or something!! WE WANT TO SEE PICTURES!!!! MOLMOL You described it so well, Dezi that we have an image now that we can’t get rid of!!!! Brilliant!! xoxox
